Baltimore, MD November 17 – 20, 2011 The Society for American City and Regional Planning History Presents the s . a . c . r . p . h . Tremont Plaza Hotel Baltimore, MD November 17 – 20, 2011 baltimore 2011 Fourteenth National Conference on Planning History Preliminary Program Society for American City and Regional Planning History November 17-20, 2011 Baltimore, Maryland On behalf of the SACRPH Program Committee, our Local Arrangements Committee, and all those who have worked hard to get us ready for the biennial conference, we welcome you to Baltimore for the 14th National Conference on Planning History. This year marks the 25th anniversary of SACRPH’s founding, and we are delighted to see that the organization continues to grow and diversify. The 2009 conference boasted a record number of sessions—54 of them—but 2011 brought in unprecedented numbers of proposals, yielding a program that has now expanded to 74 paper sessions. For the first time, we have extended the regular portion of the program into Sunday. The conference has grown larger, but this is not because the Program Committee reduced standards. All paper and panel proposals were read and rated by at least 3 different members of the Committee, and we accepted only those with high rankings. Fortunately, paper quality seems to be keeping pace with the growth of the organization. Although have added many more sessions, we have not shortened them or crowded in more presenters. Instead, we have kept to SACRPH’s traditional emphasis on permitting time for discussion, by endeavoring to give 3-paper sessions 105 minutes, and 4-paper sessions a full two hours. For many, the conference will be bracketed by opportunities to explore the rich planning history of Baltimore, both past and present. Thursday’s pre-conference tour and symposium highlights the Baltimore’s contributions to the “Living Cities” initiative, while Sunday morning brings a variety of options for walking and bus tours of the city and region. This year, the conference begins with a Plenary roundtable about the many ways that Baltimore has been constructed by the media —for good or ill—reflecting on the power of fictional representa- tions to influence dialogue about race and the planning history of the city. We will also feature a screening of the new film, The Pruitt-Igoe Myth, along with the chance to talk with its producer, Paul Fehler; a Friday evening reception at the Peabody Library made possible through the generosity of Johns Hopkins University, and a Saturday lunchtime address about “Land Grabs” by SACRPH president Alison Isenberg. We will again host a well-subscribed Writing Workshop for Graduate Students, ably organized by Sarah Jo Pe- terson and Lynette Boswell; a Poster Session for Undergraduate and MA students, thanks to the work of Hazel Edwards; and a reception for Graduate Students. Graduate students are presenting approximately 20 percent of the papers at the conference—a healthy sign of a growing field! At the opposite extreme, we are delighted to offer a session with John Reps, who marks his 90th birthday with a discussion of his new work. Outside of sessions, we have sought to maximize the opportunities for SACRPH attendees to engage in informal conversa- tion over 3 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 3 evening receptions. Finally, in a fit of strategic counter-programming, this year’s conference features a Friday lunch session without a speaker during your meal, enabling participants to connect and reconnect in a less interrupted way. We are looking forward to a productive and inspiring conference this weekend! Larry Vale and Joseph Heathcott, Program Committee Co-Chairs Lawrence J.

Over the past fifty years a succession of strategies have washed over cities in an effort to deal with chronic underinvestment all with varying results– some positive, some negative. Challenges remain, particularly in older industrial cities like Baltimore that have struggled with the outmigration of people and jobs. These patterns have left behind economic distress and disinvestment creating conditions of concentrated poverty and racial inequity. The Living Cities and the Baltimore Integration Partnership are working to overcome these challenges. Living Cities is a national consortium of major foundations and banks including MacArthur, Ford, Rockefeller, Annie E. Casey, Knight, and Robert Wood Johnson. The consortium invests in place-based efforts that connect the local to the regional scale, and that integrate a range of sectors and programs.

  • Open Swab Final Thesis B.Pdf
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY BUILDING SUBURBAN LIFE: ROLAND PARK, BALTIMORE AND THE REGULATION OF SPACE JOHN JOSEPH SWAB SPRING 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Geography and History with honors in Geography Reviewed and approved* by the following: Deryck W. Holdsworth Professor of Geography Thesis Supervisor Roger M. Downs Professor of Geography Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT An understudied example of an early modern suburb, Roland Park, Baltimore (constructed 1891- 1915) bridges the gap between the streetcar suburbs of the late nineteenth century and the tract suburbs of the mid-twentieth century. As an early modern suburb, the development of the Roland Park led to the formalization and creation of many of the social and cultural norms in addition to the landscape elements of today’s modern suburbs. This thesis examines these elements, by-products of the formation of an elite community, focusing on the regulation of Roland Park’s space in protecting it from the real and perceived negative influences of the outside world. Moreover, the thesis explores in depth the peopling of Roland Park’s built environment, a topic of great importance to the success of the community. Finally, the research places Roland Park in the larger spatial and temporal contexts of the development of other Baltimore communities, of other elite suburban developments within the United States, and the broader, global history of suburbs. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ..................................................................................................... iv LIST OF TABLES ....................................................................................................... viii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................

  • View National Trust for Historic Preservation Best Practices
    Cover Memo DATE: MAY 17, 2018 TO: PHILADELPHIA HISTORIC PRESERVATION TASK FORCE FROM: NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION RE: HISTORIC PRESERVATION & BUILDING REUSE: BEST PRACTICES RESEARCH Dear Task Force Members: As Technical Advisor to the Mayor Kenney’s Historic Preservation Task Force, the National Trust for Historic Preservation is providing the attached revised summaries of a select group of Best Practices as requested by the Task Force Sub-Committees. This in-depth research builds upon 2-3 months of preliminary research performed in the fall of 2017, presented to the Task Force in mid-January, and available on the Task Force website https://www.phlpreservation.org/. The National Trust undertook an additional 8-week research project to better understand and evaluate a refined list of Best Practices in four core areas – Survey, Outreach + Education, Incentives, and Regulation. Focused primarily, but not exclusively, on the Peer Cities identified earlier in the Task Force proceedings (Chicago, St. Louis, New York, Baltimore, Buffalo, and New Orleans), the National Trust’s Team conducted interviews with public agencies and local non-profits in each Peer City. Based on these interviews, extensive on-line research, and targeted outreach to preservation, public policy, and development professionals, as well as feedback from the Task Force subcommittees on initial drafts, the National Trust prepared the attached summaries of selected Best Practices. Included is an analysis identifying and articulating the benefits, challenges, applicability, funding, staffing requirements, and regulatory framework required for each of these Best Practices to succeed. Based on two rounds and nearly five months of intensive research by a team of eight multi-disciplinary professionals, the National Trust found that there is no “silver bullet” for historic preservation.

  • Market Analysis A. the Industry
    PLAY Market Analysis A. The Industry Baltimore’s cultural, entertainment, and natural amenities are enjoyed by the residents in the Baltimore region as well as national and international tourists. In 2004, 11.79 million visitors from outside the Baltimore region explored the many attractions our City has to offer. In addition, 3.97 million visitors liv- ing in the Baltimore region, but outside Baltimore City, visited Baltimore. Of course, the 650,000 Baltimore City residents also enjoyed Baltimore’s numer- ous cultural, entertainment, and natural resource amenities. These amenities provide activities for all segments of the population, from youth and families to the elderly. The following discussion focuses on the market for Baltimore’s cultural, entertainment, and natural amenities, with emphasis on our customer base, market size, and trends. Heritage and Cultural Resources Baltimore’s heritage and cultural tourism industry provides place-based, unique experiential products that range from large, world-renowned attractions and events to small, locally celebrated attractions and events. The heritage and cultural tourism industry provides products within three broad areas: visual arts, including art museums, galleries, schools, studios, architecture and archi- tecture-related events; performing arts, including theater, art cinema, dance, and music; and historical and cultural resources, including history museums, literary events, bus and walking tours, and historic districts.1 These resources provide life-enriching experiences that are attracting a larger number of visitors who are generally over the age of 40. Heritage and Cultural tourism is expanding its products, especially in the African American niche market. In addition, visitation to historic and culturally rich neighborhoods is increasing.

  • COMMISSION for HISTORICAL & ARCHITECTURAL PRESERVATION STAFF REPORT August 9, 2017 REQUEST: Five & Dime (Westside)
    COMMISSION FOR HISTORICAL & ARCHITECTURAL PRESERVATION Catherine E. Pugh Tom Liebel, Chairman Thomas J. Stosur Mayor Director STAFF REPORT August 9, 2017 REQUEST: Five & Dime (Westside) Local Historic District Designation: Hearing Two RECOMMENDATION: Approval APPLICANT: Baltimore Development Corporation STAFF: Stacy Montgomery SUMMARY: Determination that the proposed designation of Five & Dime (Westside) as a local historic district meets the requirements of Baltimore City Historic Preservation Rules and Regulations’ Designation of Districts and Landmarks. The designation includes a full and proper study with findings of fact that the proposed district and its boundaries comply with requirements of Local Government Certification under the National Historic Preservation Act, the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Identification and Registration, and CHAP’s own criteria for designation. HISTORIC DISTRICT NAME: Five & Dime (Westside) SUMMARY DESCRIPTION Situated within the historic retail core of Baltimore City and on a street grid that largely remains from the original settlement of the area, the proposed Five & Dime historic district demonstrates distinctive characteristics of 19th and early 20th century commercial architecture in a variety of styles. Five & Dime comprises about 5 city blocks northwest of the Inner Harbor and immediately adjacent to (west of) the Central Business District. Howard Street continues to serve this area as the primary thoroughfare for public transit, as the light rail tracks replaced the historic streetcar route. The district is comprised of a wide variety of commercial structures dating primarily from the 19th and 20th centuries. A number of the buildings have been modified over time to connect or modernize smaller buildings. Much of this work occurred during the period of significance and resulted from the change in the nature of retail design.
